Richardson sweeps the Forward Hold's shadowed cargo bays during the ship-wide hunt for stowaways, flashlight piercing stacks of crates and coiled cables. Metal bulkheads amplify echoing footsteps and urgent shouts, while ventilation hums carry the crew's rising paranoia over the 'white Barbary terror.' Tense nooks and dim corners offer prime hiding spots, heightening the companions' evasion struggles amid the starliner's confined decks.
